We felt we were at a special place as soon as we entered the property. The property was so well kept and nice. We loved our stay in our Yurt. Clean and the beds were extra comfy. Will definitely return and highly recommend. Memories made. Thank you.

Weekend Trip to Getaway Camp & Retreat

Lane and Dan's property is a beautiful place for a respite from your routine. Lane and Dan are great hosts and will make you feel at home. They have provided a sparkling clean pool and unique bathhouse (that even has a washing machine) and full hookups at the two shaded gravel RV sites. Away from cable TV and WiFi, nature takes the stage at The Getaway. From your campsite you can watch the fish jumping in the pond, deer strolling across the grounds and thousands of butterflies fluttering about. At night, the dark is broken only by the moon and billions of stars above. The only downside was that the brutal heatwave during our stay limited our outdoor activity. We will visit again.

Wife and I needed a few days of complete downtime and we found that here at Lane and Dan’s little slice of heaven. The hosts were amazing from the start of the reservation till the minute we headed back to reality. The bathroom/showerhouse is an amazing addition to this beautiful property. The views are spectacular, the lake has some great fish, the pool was refreshing and we’ve already booked our next trip to Lane and Dan’s property. If you don’t book here you will never know what you are missing out on.

Spacious park with lots of shade trees and singing birds. After driving through tornado watches when we arrived the office was closed. I called and was met at the office to find out where our hookup site was. Unfortunately it was a Tuesday so the restaurant wasn’t open. And the water park would not be opening for a few more days. We had a shady spot under a large oak tree. We were able to take showers and the facilities were clean, the water was hot. The night was peaceful and quiet. We only stayed 1 night on the way back home from an East Coast visit.

Beautiful place. Only issue at all was the fire pit at #2 had garbage in it from last guess and it appears the squirrels may have found it.

I did not get to stay here due to being sick, but the hosts were very responsive and accommodating to my flex in plans. I wish I could’ve stayed to meet them. I will definitely keep them in mind next time I’m in town.
